The world evolved and arrived at the threshold of the unimaginable – the internet.
Men cooked up magic in the name of science and even the extraterrestrial are amazed. Today, humanity is totally reliant on it for eternity.
Today, Google saves our lives several times a day. But imagine if it didn’t exist. You’d probably try to take your own life instantly.
Luckily, you couldn’t do it because, without Google, you wouldn’t know how to do it.
Luckily, we have access to all the information provided by the Internet, so we can easily read Immanuel Kant’s complete works, learn more about Planck’s constant or find out what our cousin Segismundo, who has a coffee shop in Cuenca, had for breakfast yesterday. Oh, thank goodness!
In a world without the internet, daily life would be fundamentally different across every aspect of society. Communication would primarily rely on traditional methods such as face-to-face interaction, letters, and landline telephones.
Information dissemination would be slower, relying on print media, radio, and television as the main sources of news and entertainment.
Business operations would be significantly impacted, with limited access to online transactions, e-commerce, and digital communication tools. Companies would heavily rely on physical stores and traditional marketing methods to reach their customers. Remote work would be virtually nonexistent, necessitating employees to commute to centralized offices for work.
Education would undergo a major transformation, with traditional classroom learning being the norm. Access to educational resources and materials would be restricted to physical libraries and textbooks, limiting opportunities for remote learning and research.
The thought are endless and unbearable, right?
Why The Internet Is A Timeless Giant
Social interactions would primarily occur within local communities, with limited opportunities for connecting with people globally.
Travel and tourism industries too would face challenges in promoting destinations and facilitating bookings without online platforms.
Technological advancements would be slower without the rapid exchange of information and collaboration facilitated by the internet. Innovation and research would primarily occur through traditional means, potentially delaying progress in various fields.
Overall, a world without the internet would be characterized by slower communication, limited access to information and services, and a reduced interconnectedness that defines our modern society.
Did You Know?
About half of the world is still unconnected to the Internet according to a new report by Alliance for Affordable Internet.
The report titled, ‘Sustainable, Universal Access to the Internet: Environmental implications and policy choice,’ disclosed that the United Nations broadband commission has set a goal to reach broadband-Internet user penetration of 75 per cent worldwide and 35 per cent in least developed countries by 2025. Are you aware?
It said:
“Nearly half of the world is still unconnected to the internet.”
Within the past three years, the international community celebrated the halfway mark to universal internet access as a majority of the world’s population came online.
A lot of netizens think the world would be better without this ‘connection’. Read their thoughts here
Recently, deep-sea cable cuts sent a portion of Africa into a frenzy, a lot thought the world had ended. Now, imagine if there was no internet when it indeed ends?. Lol.
